Taylor Swift is coming down the aisle and officially saying “yes” to her love story.
The superstar singer broke the internet Tuesday after announcing her long-awaited engagement to Travis Kelce, after more than two years of dating. Photos show the pair posing together in a flower-strewn garden, with Swift wearing a black-and-white striped dress from Ralph Lauren (that’s already sold out, natch).
But what will Taylor Swift’s wedding dress look like? While the stylish singer is notoriously mum when it comes to revealing too many details about her outfits (or well, about anything really), she knows her way around a classic white ensemble. “Delicate,” “Gorgeous” and “Fearless” aren’t just names of songs in the Grammy winner’s catalogue — they’re also apt descriptors for many of her looks.
From lace dresses during her country era, to sultry and sophisticated gowns on the red carpet, we’ve rounded up 13 times Swift has worn white, with easy ways to replicate the look for less.
Whether these outfits will influence Swift’s actual wedding dress remains to be seen, but suffice to say, she’ll do it all with style.
